Git and Source Control

If you used Cloud9 for this workshop then you also created a GitHub account. GitHub is a website for sharing and collaborating on code using the tool Git. Git is a source control management tool. Git is not the only tool of this type but it is very popular and widely used both in industry and open-source projects.

Advice: There are some great GUI tools available for Git such as Git Tower, GitHub Desktop, and GitKraken. However it is easy to get over confident with these tools and get tripped up once you get to advanced usage unless you have a solid understanding of how Git works. For that reason it is highly advised to become familar with git on the command-line to get a better understanding of it. Even if you also use the GUI tools to make some tasks easier.
